Golf Nut, I know that before you play a round of golf, you should stretch really well because it will help you have a smooth relaxed golf swing. But sometimes we are running really late and can barely get the golf clubs into the golf cart without being late. Do you have any suggestions?

Here are three suggestions to help you get loose and help your golf swing during a round. When you are running late, you and whoever you are sharing a golf cart with can take advantage of these golf tips to quickly get loose. Bear in mind, these golf tips for a quick stretch are not to replace a golf fitness program.

First, do a quick stretch using the golf cart. Grab the support pole for the roof of the cart with one hand and for a 5 count stretch away from the pole with the other hand slowly trying to reach as far as you can. Repeat with the other side. Do this twice for each side.

Second, carry a weighted golf club, like the Momentus swing trainer in your bag. Instead of taking a few practice swings with your regular golf clubs, use the golf swing trainer. Start with slow smooth, short swings and work up to your full golf swing.

Third, take turns with your partner walking to your shot on the first hole. Carry two golf clubs and swing your arms in large, slow circles beside your body holding the golf clubs. Walk at a decent pace to get the blood flowing throughout your body.

Hope this helps you groove your golf swing on those days when you are in a rush!
